[Ami looks somewhat alarmed.] Violence? [Yeah, that would be the part she didn't know about.] What do you mean?

[thefinaljedi]

Apparently there was a fight at the school involving Loki and the owl.

[geniustheveil]

A fight? Were they hurt? [And please tell her it at least didn't involve anyone else.]

[thefinaljedi]

I have no idea. I just know that classes were moved out of the school because of it.

[geniustheveil]

I see. I haven't heard about injuries at the clinic, but they could have gone to the other clinic, too.

[thefinaljedi]

It's just as likely that there were casualties and not injuries.

[geniustheveil]

How could it have gotten that bad? [As much as Ami loves books, they are far from worth killing over. Most things are. Almost all things, really.]

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke wants to reply with something sharp, but all he can say is:]

Because emotions ran hot. I don't know what happened, but Raine said nothing about the final result. I know there was a fight, but I feel Loki across the enclosure.

[geniustheveil]

That's not a reason!

[Yes, she's showing this outburst to the wrong person, but really? Did any of them truly think what it meant to take a life? How could they have if they could do it over something so small? - yes, small, compared to a life!]

[thefinaljedi]

No, it isn't.

[Luke's eyes flash coldly. The whole affair is enough to make him lose his temper that much. He doesn't know all the details, but he knows enough to make an inference about what happened.]

I don't know what happened exactly. But I have a guess.

[geniustheveil]

[She's not sure she wants to know, except as always, of course she wants to know. She wants to decide what to think about it from a position of at least knowing the facts.]

What do you think happened?

[thefinaljedi]

The owl probably attacked Loki first. He's a spirit, and in my experience they handle things poorly. There was a fight, I know that for certain from Raine. And then...

[He trails off, as hopefully she can work out the rest.]

[geniustheveil]

[Yes; she knows how fights can end. It still baffles her, though. She shakes her head.]

If there was a fight like that, I don't think only he handled it poorly.

[thefinaljedi]

Oh, neither do I.

[But without proof?]

[geniustheveil]

[Without proof, she's pretty sure she can still believe things went wrong, and it wasn't only one-sided. Although it's the owl who was in fact killed, she hasn't forgotten.

People in Luceti can be baffling sometimes. Not that she feels she has much of a finger to point. Anyway, she has one other faint worry.]

Even if he died, he'll return after awhile. This might not be over yet.

[thefinaljedi]

Which is why I'm going to keep an eye on this whole mess.

[He hopes to mediate it, after all.]

[geniustheveil]

I'll feel better about it if you do.

[She plans to do some talking of her own, but she wants to avoid putting herself forward too much in the process, when she doesn't know the people involved very well.]

[thefinaljedi]

Well, enough about that.

[He turns and gives his girlfriend a winning smile.]

I've missed you. And I'd rather just focus on seeing you instead of talking about Loki and a giant owl.

[geniustheveil]

I've missed you, too. I wasn't sure when you'd be back, exactly, so I don't have anything ready, but I could make something to eat or some tea if you'd like.

[thefinaljedi]

Honestly, tea would be nice.

[He's not really okay with her doing things just for him, it makes him feel odd. But he's gathered by now she wants to do them...so...]

[geniustheveil]

I'll get some ready for both of us; I'd like some, too.

[Oh, she definitely wants to do them. It's her way of showing some of her affection. So Ami gets the tea started before she comes back instead of waiting there, reluctant to spend even a few minutes away from Luke so soon after his return.]

[thefinaljedi]

Wonderful. Thank you.

[He feels the same way, resisting the urge to go stand with her.]

[geniustheveil]

[She disappears again when it's time for the tea to be ready, finishes the preparations in the kitchen, and brings two steaming cups out on a small tray.]

Please go ahead.

[thefinaljedi]

[And he'll take his cup with a smile.]

Thank you dear, you're the best.

[geniustheveil]

You're very welcome. [Ami comes to sit beside Luke, and while she doesn't precisely put her feet up, she's eschewed some of her usual stiffly formal posture in favor of a more intimate time with him.]
